Faye was adopted 3 months ago from a shelter by a wonderful, loving family. Faye is 9 years old and her health was a bit unclear, but this family was willing to give her a chance. Shortly after being in her new home Faye showed signs of depression, lack of responsiveness and eventually mild seizures.
After some tests Faye was thought to have a tumor in her pancreas (an insulinoma). Dr. DeBitetto ( in the photo) confirmed the diagnosis by finding the tumor on abdominal ultrasound. With a guarded prognosis and a difficult and expensive surgery option, Quarry Ridge stepped up and adopted Faye. We spoke to our surgical specialist, Dr. Pacchiana, and reviewed our options. Dr. Pacchiana generously donated his surgical services and successfully operated on Faye.
With such wonderful clientele, we were able to find another family willing to adopt Faye. Faye is now happily living with her new housemate "Lightning" in the Curran household. Although Faye is not cured, she is expected to enjoy extended quality time in her new home.
We are proud and happy to have played a part in Faye's diagnosis, treatment and placement. She came to us though loving, caring owners, passed through our hospital and then ended up in another wonderful home.
Faye brings smiles to all our faces.
